No new COVID-19 charges in Waterloo region May 12-18

Despite a long weekend, no new COVID-19-related charges were laid between May 12 to May 18 in Waterloo region.

Over the week, there were 97 visits that involved education or a warning and 598 site visits where no action was required because the situation had been resolved or was not a violation, says regional chief administrative officer Mike Murray.

"As the weather gets better, we're seeing more questions, complaints, issues about people congregating. That's generating activity for all the enforcement groups — regional bylaw, local municipal bylaw, regional public health and Waterloo Regional Police. They're all pretty active, but people are relatively compliant. If they are reminded, then people take appropriate action," says Murray.
